So i have been using dynagro veg and bloom for about a year and am looking to switch, as a newer grower i knew when i first started out i would have my fare share of problems, but every plant has had some kind of deficiency at some point and this round is no different, so its time to change stuff, always followed directions for feeding until shit went south and then started asking questions, reading and trying to correct problems, upping nutes and so forth, anyone suggest a well rounded nute? Just looking to keep plants healthy not turn into a master grower, happy frog soil, 2, 315 lec lights, water ph 6.3 - 6.5, dynagro nutes, thanks

Mega Crop could be a candidate.

I would look into using water only soil with bigger containers.
I actually tried 3,5,and 10 gallon pots, never used anything but dynagro before
Looked into megacrop all in one, i may give that a try

add a little kelp once a week during veg till week two of flower add humic acid a little once a week till late flower add a little bit of a microbe product once a week till late flower and you shouldnt get a deficiency if you wanted to still use that dynagrow nute.
Changing nutes isnt the thing that will correct your problem and I wouldnt recommend mega crop if you are having problems.
The kelp and humic acid are loaded with micronutrients and the microbes help feed it all to the plant. Then the only deficiency you might be getting might be a calcium deficiency or a mag deficiency which are the two main deficiencies you have probably been having and the third is potassium and those are easy to deal with.

Nutes are not the problem. It's your ph. Its too low. And its not your water ph that's important, its the soil ph. Learn how to get this right and you can use any nutes.
Cause you said that u weren't looking to become a master grower, its worth mentioning that use of microbes is your easy wsy out. Plants and microbes work together to bring ph into usable range in the rhizosphere. You can just add and forget about learning about ph.

Absolutely listen and learn from these soil dudes! They know whats up.
I'm a coco grower. Also under a pair of 315s.
Good luck.

thats funny I do hydro but grow mothers in dirt it all crosses over back and forth. I learned most from dirt and just applied what is relevant to hydro. Then I fugged up a bunch of hydro grows to learn hydro. The plant is the same just what you use to grow it is different for the most part. Its all just a learning curve, you cant learn if you dont fail.
So what should i try as far as microbes? Or should i try to change soil? Thanks
I've had my share fare of fails, just getting tired of them lol, just turning to yall for a lil insight on what to try next

You need a microbe product and I suggest to watch the harley smith videos on the youtube and then watch videos put out by successful growers. Grateful grower is one off the top of my head idk if he is still putting out videos but he does a good job imo

So I would still go fox farm but the ocean forest instead of the happy frog. Happy frog is more for seedlings. You'll get more mileage out the OF. Lots of microbe choices, but I've used and like Fishshit, Tribus, Mammoth P. Im currently using the Roots XL from Miegs. Good but $$. A good discount offering is Photosynthesis Plus.

Pick off all the dead yellow leaves
add epsom salt at 1 tsp per gal for a few waterings. if not for the rest of the time till a week before chop, at least once a week anyways.
So i started watching harley Smith's videos and right off the rip i have been watering all wrong, i was giving plants just a little water every day and not soaking pots until I got run off, so i started soaking pots and only have to water every 2 to 3 days now depending on temps, i guess its a start!!!
